Batman Arkham Knight - Official Thread!

From forums/posts and videos that I have seen, it seems like the majority are still having issues with:

- poor textures and texture pop-in
- stuttering still
- crashes

The only ones who don't really seem to have any serious performance issues are those with 980ti's, titan x's and to a lesser extent, fury x.

EDIT:

I wonder if they will be addressing other things in the future like 21.9 format (looks stretched to me) and just better graphics overall as I could perhaps hold out if they were significantly improving it over the current version.
 
I think a lot of it also depends on what you consider playable. 30FPS is not playable to me, it feels jerky and frankly makes me fell nauseous.

Whether I use SLI - which increases frames in some places and lowers them in others - or dedicated PhysX which does the opposite, I can't get a smooth frame rate with vsync on. I'm sure that with some optimisation it will be fine, and I'd rather wait and enjoy just playing the game. I agree it's far from the worst ever launch, but I want to lose myself in this game and not constantly have the immersion broken by FPS drops and missing textures.

Not necessarily true I'm playing it with a gtx 750ti and it's been fine using low textures.. it does push my ram usage to 7gb tho which I find crazy I don't know any other game that actually uses 4gb of ram. No crashes yet or major game breaking flaws. I'm wondering if it's only the people pushing max settings that are having the problems
 
For those that are finding the game smooth, could you guys check to see what your average frame time/latency is please. You need MSI afterburner and riva tuner installed, then go to your monitoring tab and choose what you want to monitor then the on screen display tab to alter the button layout etc.

That would be why :p

Running fine with 780 Ti also, max settings just get a slight stutter on the odd corner when in the batty car.

Nexus just looked at your C3 screenies what res an monitor you using m8?

I'll give it a go later tonight.

I play it with V-sync off. Will that matter?

Is there a way to make a log-file of it?
 
For texture issues go here & apply those tweaks makes a huge difference as a lot of the FPS issues are due to how many unique textures stream in constantly :eek:

I changed my textures cache size in the ini file to 4096 it made a huge difference to the game for me also put the game on a SSD makes the texture streaming much better. The game has some very minor bugs but considering the overblown hate I suspect most people jumped on the hate train as its nowhere near a disaster at all & should still be onsale on PC because its stable, playable & well made despite the launch issues.

Yeah forgot to say that having it on SSD seems to help a lot.

vsync off/on doesn't matter too much, you might get a lower frame time with vsync but it depends entirely on the game and its implementation of vsync, some are really good whilst a lot are very poor in which case borderless windowed mode can often be the best method of vsync (uses windows vsync).

Not sure about a log but msi AB can show a graph for it, although from my experience, it is quite in-accurate. I generally just look at the reading whilst in game, for myself;

<15ms = very smooth
<20ms = pretty good
between 20-25ms = a bit stuttery
>25ms = unplayable

Thanks for this, will give it a go later!
 
Well I am forced to eat my words.

Earlier in the thread I was one of those that have said the issues have cleared up with driver updates but as soon as I got into the latter 30% of the main story things have gotten really bad no matter what driver I use.

Absolute constant stuttering - baffling when, after updating my video drivers, the game ran almost flawlessly until this point.

Lows of 15 and highs of 25.

Average about 20 but constantly changing.
 
Odd, you should have the option in MSI AB :/ If you have just installed MSI AB + rivatuner, you might have to restart the PC for that stuff to show.

I'm guessing that is FPS and not frame latency/time figures?
